Description
Mortal Kombat 11 is a 2.5D fighting PC game, developed by NetherRealm Studio. It’s the eleventh main title in the Mortal Kombat series, known for its gore visuals, violence, and brutal gameplay. MK 11 runs on Unreal Engine 3.
Gameplay
Mortal Kombat 11 retains many of the Mortal Kombat 10’s gameplay mechanics, including Fatalities and Brutalities, brutally graphic finishing moves. Each character has a specific Fatality, which references their personality in some way. Former action movie star Johnny Cage beats his opponents with a gilded figure of himself, gunslinger Erron Black uses his revolvers to riddle enemies with bullets, and so on.
MK XI introduces several new features. One of them is Fatal Blow – a special move, that deals a huge amount of damage, however, it becomes available only after the player’s health drops below 30%. Another new mechanic is Krushing Blow. It acts similarly to the X-ray techniques from the previous game, where certain moves triggered the slow-motion effect and showed with graphic detail the damage done to the enemy’s organs and bones. Krushing Blow can be used only once per duel, so players should use it wisely. Flawless Block allows the player to counter after a precisely timed block.
The game introduces the Gear system, borrowed from Netherrealm Studio’s Injustice 2. It allows for cosmetic changes to characters’ outfits. The variation system of Mortal Kombat X returns, allowing players to customize their fighter’s moveset, by choosing from a predetermined list of variations.
Story and characters
The plot of Mortal Kombat 11 picks up after the events of X, when Cassie Cage defeated the renegade Elder God Shinnok. Raiden, the protector of Earthrealm, who has become corrupted by the power of Jinsei Chamber, tortures Shinnok and announces his goal to destroy the enemies of Earth before they are able to strike. Raiden’s trespasses and Earthrealm’s defiance anger Kronika, the Keeper of Time who decides to put an end to the plans of the corrupted God of Thunder.
